Watch as student of Accra High School slaps teacher during heated argument

A disturbing incident at Accra High School has sparked widespread concern after a student reportedly slapped a teacher during a heated confrontation on campus.

Eyewitnesses say the situation began as a verbal disagreement between the teacher and the student but quickly turned physical in front of other students and staff. The student not only slapped the teacher but also allegedly tried to continue the attack before being restrained.

Though the exact cause of the confrontation remains unclear, sources within the school suggest it may have resulted from disciplinary action or a misunderstanding during class. School authorities have since stepped in to calm the situation and ensure the safety of both students and staff.

The Ghana Education Service (GES) is expected to launch a full investigation into the matter. Disciplinary actions are likely to be taken against the student involved.

“This kind of behaviour undermines the values of discipline and respect that our educational institutions uphold,” said a concerned education officer who spoke anonymously.

Both the Teachers and Educational Workers’ Union (TEWU) and the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) have condemned the incident. They are calling for swift and firm action to protect teachers and maintain order in schools.

As news of the incident spreads, many Ghanaians have taken to social media to express anger and concern. The situation has revived national conversations about the need for reforms in student discipline and better protection for teachers.

The management of Accra High School has assured the public that appropriate steps are being taken to deal with the matter and to prevent similar incidents in the future.
